Cross-Shore and Depth Zonations in Bacterial Diversity Are Linked to Age and Source of Dissolved Organic Matter across the Intertidal Area of a Sandy Beach

Cross-Shore and Depth Zonations in Bacterial Diversity Are Linked to Age and Source of Dissolved Organic Matter across the Intertidal Area of a Sandy Beach

Microbial communities and dissolved organic matter (DOM) are intrinsically linked within the global carbon cycle. Demonstrating this link on a molecular level is hampered by the complexity of both counterparts. We have now investigated this connection within intertidal beach sediments, characterized...
